Everyone’s getting back to their routine.  That being said, even though I’ve kept up with throwing out 5 items per day, I’m not making a dent in the major problem areas.  I suspect this is because the problems are so large and at the holidays we’ve had a lot of stuff enter the house.  So, I’m going to try to use this space to show my progress thereby encouraging me to stay on track.

• Did a major playroom cleanup, including taking down the VERY old artwork. Some was replaced with new drawings, but mostly we’ve got blank walls now waiting for new creations.
• Got the three older boys’ ski stuff ready for their trip at the end of the month. Our oldest has been once; the twins have never been.  So, this involved determining what we had, getting a helmet for free, and buying a few new items (especially for the younger two who were in need of new snowpants anyway).
• Grocery trips to Shaw’s, Stop & Shop, and BJs
• Entered two months of Pampers Gifts to Go codes (yes, I could do this every month and get prizes, but they’re not worth the time to log in that often)
• Replaced the shower curtain
• Baked blueberry muffins for a meeting
• Wrapped 7 gifts for upcoming birthday parties
• Repaired 5 books (unfortunately this is an insignificant portion of the pile)
